Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
PERECE el justo, y no hay quien pare mientes; y los píos son recogidos, y no hay quien entienda que delante de la aflicción es recogido el justo.
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
Entrará en la paz; descansarán en sus lechos [todos] los que andan delante de [Dios].
3 But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
Mas vosotros llegaos acá, hijos de la agorera, generación de adúltero y de fornicaria.
4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom make you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
¿De quién os habéis mofado? ¿contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa,
5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
Que os enfervorizáis con los ídolos debajo de todo árbol umbroso, que sacrificáis los hijos en los valles, debajo de los peñascos?
6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
En las pulimentadas [piedras] del valle está tu parte; ellas, ellas son tu suerte; y á ellas derramaste libación, y ofreciste presente. ¿No me tengo de vengar de estas cosas?
7 On a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you up to offer sacrifice.
Sobre el monte alto y empinado pusiste tu cama: allí también subiste á hacer sacrificio.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you saw it.
Y tras la puerta y el umbral pusiste tu recuerdo: porque á otro que á mí [te] descubriste, y subiste, y ensanchaste tu cama, é hiciste con ellos alianza: amaste su cama donde quiera que la veías.
9 And you went to the king with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
Y fuiste al rey con ungüento, y multiplicaste tus perfumes, y enviaste tus embajadores lejos, y te abatiste hasta el profundo. (Sheol h7585)
10 You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.
En la multitud de tus caminos te cansaste, mas no dijiste: No hay remedio; hallaste la vida de tu mano, por tanto no te arrepentiste.
11 And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?
¿Y de quién te asustaste y temiste, que has faltado á la fe, y no te has acordado de mí, ni te vino al pensamiento? ¿No he yo disimulado desde tiempos antiguos, y nunca me has temido?
12 I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.
13 When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
Cuando clamares, líbrente tus allegados; empero á todos ellos llevará el viento, un soplo los arrebatará; mas el que en mí espera, tendrá la tierra por heredad, y poseerá el monte de mi santidad.
14 And shall say, Cast you up, cast you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people.
Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino, quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Porque así dijo el Alto y Sublime, el que habita la eternidad, y cuyo nombre es el Santo: Yo habito en la altura y la santidad, y con el quebrantado y humilde de espíritu, para hacer vivir el espíritu de los humildes, y para vivificar el corazón de los quebrantados.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
Porque no tengo de contender para siempre, ni para siempre me he de enojar: pues decaería ante mí el espíritu, y las almas que yo he criado.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé y heríle, escondí [mi rostro] y ensañéme; y fué él rebelde por el camino de su corazón.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Visto he sus caminos, y le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y daréle consolaciones, á él y á sus enlutados.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says the LORD; and I will heal him.
Crío fruto de labios: Paz, paz al lejano y al cercano, dijo Jehová; y sanarélo.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Mas los impíos son como la mar en tempestad, que no puede estarse quieta, y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
21 There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.
